A car tow in the UAE usually takes about 20 to 45 minutes for the flatbed to arrive in the main cities, plus the drive time to your chosen garage. With QARO, a flatbed is dispatched 24/7, you track it live, and loading a standard car onto the bed takes only a few minutes.
What affects the timing
- Your location: Inside Dubai, Sharjah or Abu Dhabi a flatbed is usually close by; remote or inter-emirate pickups take longer.
- Traffic and time of day: Peak-hour congestion adds to arrival and delivery time.
- Vehicle condition: A car with seized wheels, in a basement car park, or after an accident needs extra time and equipment to load safely.
- Drop-off distance: A garage nearby is quick; a long inter-emirate move adds drive time.
What happens when the flatbed arrives
- The driver positions the flatbed and tilts the bed.
- Your car is winched up and secured with straps — all four wheels off the road, so there's no drivetrain damage.
- You're driven (or the car is delivered) to your chosen workshop, and you pay cashless in the app.
After an accident, follow the process first
If the tow is after a collision, complete the official steps before the car is moved: in Dubai call the Police on 999 (or 901 for minor accidents) and get the report your insurer needs. Once cleared, QARO can move the car to your preferred garage.
